IMSegmentation2.CalibrateByMs Method

Calibrates Ms of existing vertices using new Ms from the input points and existing Ms along shortest paths between those points. The update method is given as a combination of esriGeometryUpdateMEnum values.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function CalibrateByMs ( _
    ByVal Points As IEnumVertex, _
    ByVal updateHow As Integer, _
    ByVal cutoffDistance As Double _
) As IEnumSplitPoint

[C#]
public IEnumSplitPoint CalibrateByMs (
    IEnumVertex Points,
    int updateHow,
    double cutoffDistance
);

[C++]
HRESULT CalibrateByMs(
  IEnumVertex* Points,
  long updateHow,
  double cutoffDistance
);

[C++]

Parameters
Points 

  Points is a parameter of type IEnumVertex*
updateHow 

  updateHow is a parameter of type long
cutoffDistance 

  cutoffDistance is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Remarks

The updateHow argument is given as a combination of esriGeometryUpdateMEnum values. When combining multiple values, the bitwise Or operator should always be used. This assures an error-free combination of the values (as long as the attempted combination is valid). Do not use the addition operator (+) to combine the values as unexpected results may occur.

The cutoffDistance parameter is an input Double that represents the distance from the polyline from where points are not considered anymore as being valid calibration points.

For example, to interpolate between the input points and to extrapolate before and after the input points, you would use 7, which equates to: esriGeometryInterpolate OR esriGeometryExtrapolateBefore OR esriGeometryExtrapolateAfter

esriGeometryInterpolate=0001 (1)
esriGeometryExtrapolateBefore=0010 (2)
esriGeometryExtrapolateAfter=0100 (4)

[C#]

public void CalibratePolyLineByMs(IPolyline polyline, IMultipoint multipoint, int updateHow, double cutOffDistance)
{
/*
   This function will use IMSegmentation2.CalibrateByMs. This function
   calibrates the Ms using measure distance. If you want to calibrate using
   some existing geometric distance, then use IMSegmentation2.CalibrateByDistance

   updateHow is a bitwise combination of these three values:
         esriGeometryInterpolate=1
         esriGeometryExtrapolateBefore=2
         esriGeometryExtrapolateAfter=4

   Note that CalibrateByMs does not require that the MultiPoint's points
   fall on top of the PolyLine. You might consider adding some logic to make
   sure that the points fall on top of (e.g. ITopologicalOperator.Intersect)
   or are within a tolerance (e.g. IProximityOperator.ReturnDistance)

   If you pass in a PolyLine that is from a data source of unknown quality,
   you may consider calling IGeometryCollection.GeometriesChanged before
   you call IPolyLine.SimplifyNetwork below. This is because SimplifyNetwork
   will not do anything if the geometry is assumed to be simple. Calling
   GeometriesChanged tells the geometry that it is not simple.

   This operation must be performed on a simple geometry
